Worsted Weight…?
When you walk into a yarn store or the craft section of a department store you may become overwhelmed with the amazing selection of yarn. As you browse you can clearly see the different textures. Suddenly you realize your pattern mentions a certain weight… and you panic. What yarn do you get?
Are you working on a pattern? Check your pattern. Most patterns will tell you which type and weight your yarn should be.
